Strand Notes

James Joyce's coup de literature, an astonishing and unparalleled novel tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on June 16, 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous spouse, Molly, commits adultery. Deemed obscene in England and the United States, Joyce's work was hailed as a work of genius by W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway. Scandalous, comic and generously humane, ULYSSES appeared on stage full-blown revolutionary in its modernistic experimentalism. Complete and unabridged. 682p.

Description

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.

James Joyce's astonishing masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery.

Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.

Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience.
